Forgiveness cannot make a sinner be or feel as if he had never sinned. There must be, in addition, to forgiveness, an atonement for his in., a paying of the debt, before he can feel that the burden of his guilt is removed. Hence the ne- cessftiy of the atonement made by Christ —not to appease the wrath. of God, but to bring relief to the Soul of the penitent %inner. "Jesus paid it all, all the debt I owe," are the tidings that he must bear and believe before he can stand =con- derened and self-jnetified before God.

Dr. A. P. Chalmers, of Oil Springs, has performed a euecessful operation 'of "skin A Woman's Signature. In this day of women's clubs and wo- men's newspapers, when women are the officers and managers of the various charitable organizations and. editors of papers, it is highly important that what constitutes a woman's signature should be clearly understood. A married wo- man signs her name in just the same way that a single woman signs hers—that is, with her christian name and the surname that legally belongs to her. That is her only proper signature. When Mary Smith marries John Brown she signs her- self henceforth as Mary Brown, or, if she wishes to retain her family name, she may sign herself as Mary Smith -Brown, Her address is distinctly different from her signature. A woman's social and. business standing is usually conditioned. by her husband's. Hence, for social and business convenience she is known as Mrs. John Brown. But it is merely a distineuished title, not her name, and therefore cannot be correctly used. as a signature. She must sign herself as Mary Brown or Mary Smitb.-Brown, and the title Mrs. John Brown may be added in parethesis as her distinguishing title There is danger in neglecting a cold. Many who have died of consumption dat- ed their troubles from exposure, followed by a cold which settled on their lungs, and in a short time they were beyond the skill of the best physician. Had they used Biekle's Anti -Consumptive Syrup, before it was too late, their livesewould have been spared. This medicine has no equal for curing coughs, colds and all af- fections of the throat and lungs. A Small Tenth's Retort. The pompous schoolmaster sometimes finds himself in a position which is not entirely to his taste. A great English wit, Mark Lemon, once wrote a book, in which he told of a chubby -faced little urchin who passed his conceited instruc- tor on the street without bowing. The schoolmaster stopped and. frowned. "What has become of your manners, sir?" he roared. "It seems to me that you are better fed than. taught." "Yes, sir," replied the little boy ; "that's because you teaches me ; but I feeds myself, sir," s. For the thorough and speedy cure of all blood diseases and. eruptions of the skin, take Northrop & Lyman's Vegetable Dis- covery. Mrs. B. Forbes, Detroit, had a running sore on her leg or a long time; commenced using Northrop & Lyman's Vegetable Discovery, and she is now com- pletely cured. Her husband thinks there is nothing equal to it for ague or any low fever. • Wearing of Glass Eyes. It is a fallacy to suppose that people who wear cork less and glass eyes are in- different to their person'al appearanc,e. i hey are often vainer than ordinary in- dividuals. A rich man, for instance, who is oblig- ed to wear an artificial eye, will wear three different eyes every day—an eye for morning, when the pupil is not very large ; an eye for noon, when the pupil is smaller ; an eye for evening, when. the pupil has extended to its full size. A London eye -maker, who gave this in- formation, said he main about an equal proportion of glass eyes for men and wo- men. Some people keep quite a stock in their possession, in fact no less than twelve eyes have been made by my in- formant within three years. His son had. got one made from meas- urement, and tlaat eye fitted so perfectly - that the old gentleman, in an outburst' of gratitude, wrote off for eleven other oyes. The eye -maker admitted that this was an exceptional instance. Holloway's Corn Cure destroys all kinds of corns and warts, root and branch.

The House went into committee on bill No. 76, respecting the verdicts of jurors in .ivil eases in the High Courts and other courts. Mr, Whitney objected to the principle of the bill, by which the verdict of ten jurors should decide. Sir Oliver Mowat replied that the ob- ject of the bill was to prevent the objec- tion of one or two jurymen preventing a verdict. Mx. Matheson suggested that the bill be laid over for a year. Mr. Whitney said he was perfectly will- ing to agree to the abolitien of juries in civil cases. Mr. Hardy explained that the motion of the hon. member for Dundas involved the killing of the bill. The bill was reported by the com- mittee. Looking For an Hopi* Mau. "I am looking for an honest man," re- plied. the eynie, eveing him sharply. "Well, I like that," laughed the law- yer.

Sir Oliver Mowat proposed an amend- ment in the phraseology of the first clause. He also proposed the insertion of an extra clause, making permissive the use of the twenty -four-hour system of reckoning. The amendments were concurred in, and the bill reported. FREE LIBRARIES. Mr. Ross moved the second reading of bill No. 117, to amend and consolidate the acts respecting free libraries and mechanics' institutes He explained the provisions of the bill, which provided for the change of the name "Free library" to "Public library," and the change of the name "Mechanics' institute" to "Publie library." The motion was carried after a short disoussien. PROVISION POR WIDOWS. Sir Oliver Mowat moved the second reading of bill No. 118, to make better provision for the widows of intestates in certain cases, by assuring to them' the net value of the estate absolutely and ex- clusively up to the sum of $1,000. The motion was carried. AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT. Mr. Dryden. moved the second reading of bill No. 181, relating to the Depart- ment of Agrieulture, which provides that the registers. of pure breed stock hereto- fore kept by the Agriculture and Arts As- sociation shall be kept by the Depart- ment of Agriculture, and that the Bureau of Industries -shall be under the direction of the Minister of Agriculture. The motion was carried. THI) PHARMACY Aar. Mr. Ross moved the second reading of his bill to amend the Pharmacy Act. The motion was carried. THE ALGOMA. DAIRY FARM, From the Canso, N.S., Breeze. While newspaper men are called upon in their capacity as publishers to print from week to week words of praise spoken in favor of proprietary medicines, it is not often that the editor himself feats it his duty to say a good word on behalf of any of these preparations. And yet if a newspaper man has actually found benefit from the use of a proprie- tary medicine, why should he not make it known to his readers, andthus per- haps point out to some of thefthe road to renewed health. The edito17•40 the Breeze believes it his duty to say eafeew words of praise in favor of a remedy that has proved an inestimable boon to him, and to say them with Jut any solicitation on the part of the proprietors of the medicuie, who, as a matter of fact, had no reason to know that he was ailing or was using their medicine. For several years the editor of the Breeze had been subject to that distressing coraplaint, dyspepsia, and only those who have been similarlytroubled can, know how much misery this trouble en- tails. He had but very little appetite, and what he did eat caused an unplea- sant feeling of fullness, and made him feel languid and heavy, often caus- ing intense pain in the stomach only re- lieved by vomiting up the food which he had taken. He was also troubled with palpitation of the heart, brought on no doubt by the dyspepsia. Numerous remedies alleged to cure dyspepsia were tried, but without success, and the trouble was approaching a chronic state. At the suggestion of a friend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were tried and relief soon followed their use, and aft r a few boxes had been taken the editor was able to assert posi- tively that he had been. cured of his dyspepsia by this remedy that has proved so great a blessing to mankind. To any one troubled with this complaint he would. strongly recommenclDr. Williams' Pink Pills. To newspaper men par- ticularly they will be found just the thing to impart health and vigor to the whole system. and enable them to pursue their work free from that tired, despond- ent feeling so prevalent among the craft. The editor of the Breeze firmly believes that what they have done for hi n they will do for others. and he gives them his hearty and unsolicited endorsation. Dr. -Williams' Pink Pills are an un- failing cure for all troubles resulting from poverty of the blood or shattered nerves, and where given a fair trial they never fail in cases like that above ralated. Sold. by all dealers or sent postpaid at 50 cents a box, or 6 boxes for $2.50 by addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. Brockville'Ont.,or Schenectady, N. See that the registered trade mark is on all packages. In regard to the item of 04,000 for es- tablishing a dairy farm in Algoma, Mr. Matheson inquired the reason for locating such a farm in that part of the province. Mr. Dryden replied that the object was to induce settlement in that country. The Government thought the district should be settled. Me. McPherson approved of the estab- aishment of such a farm, and hoped it would be followed up by the location of similar farms in other parts of the pro- vince. Mr. Maxtor asked if a manager had yet been selected for the farm. Mr. Dryden replied in the negative. The item was passed, as were some further items. The House then took up the grants to Public and. Separate schools of $242,- 495.44. Mr. Haycock said that in some coun- ties there was dissatisfaction with the way the grant to Public schools was made at present, namely, on a basis of attendants°, and he suggested that it might be better if the grants were made on the basis of the number of days the wheels were kept °pea. This, he thought would be fairer to the rooter districts than the present method. The item passed. The estimates for Central, Priem, To- ronto, antieunting to oomq, were also passed. This finished the estimates, and the committee rose ancl reported. trii CONOUltitaiNCE. The House went into concurrence on the estimates, and passed most of the items referred to by the committee.

Gives His Experience With Organic Heart Disease—The Dread Maladjon theinerease. For Many years my greatest enemy has been organic heart disease. From an un.A, easiness about the heart, with palpitation more or less Severe, it had developed into abnormal action, thumping, fluttering and choking sensations. Dull pain with a peculiar warm feeling were ever present near the heart. I have tried many phy- sicians and taken numberless remedies with very little benefit. Seeing Dr. Ag- new's Cure for the Heart advertised in the Kittanning, Pa., papers, I purchased a bottle and began its use, receiving al- most instant relief. I have now taken several bottles of the remedy and can speak most highly in, its favor. The choking, abnormal beating, thumping and palpitation, have almost entirely dis- appeared. The remedy is certainly a wonder -worker, for my case was chronic. Rev. L. W. Showers. Elderton, Pa. "La Grippe" How to Escape It. The most promising subjects for this dread malady are theists whose health is "run down" from any cause—the fact being patent, that those in sound physi- oal condition resist attack most success- fully.
